Answer:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view.

More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Explanation

WAVELENGTHS OF VISIBLE LIGHT

All electromagnetic radiation is light, but we can only see a small portion of this radiation—the portion we call visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum. Other portions of the spectrum have wavelengths too large or too small and energetic for the biological limitations of our perception.

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

Answer:

There are two reasons. First, the wave spreads out as it moves away from the transmitter, which reduces its energy over a given area. Second, some energy is absorbed by the air.

Why are there 2 bonds holding the oxygen atoms together?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Because Oxygen shares 2 electrons with mutual bond interaction forming covalent bond . thus it is diatomic due to K shell 2 electrons mutual sharing .

Which solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?

julia-pushkina [17]

Pressure: when the external pressure is:
less than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is lower than its normal boiling point.
equal to one atmosphere, the boiling point of a liquid is called the normal boiling point.
greater than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is greater than its normal boiling point.

Base your answer on the information below and your knowledge of chemistry. Methanol can be manufactured by a reaction that is re

Rudiy27

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)$

$Rate=k[CO]^x[H_2]^y$

where x and y are order wrt to $CO$ and $H_2$

According to collision theory , the molecules must collide for a reaction to take place. According to collision theory , the rate of a reaction is proportional to rate of collision of reactants.

Thus with an increase in concentration of reactants , the rate of reaction also increases. This is because if the concentration of reactants increases , the chances of collision between molecules also increases and thus more products wil be formed which in turn increases the rate of reaction.
